I figured the aperture was going to automatically open more and handle a low light condition but it didn't.

 

I used to have a Gopro.  They are great cameras.  I think your camera would have made the light adjustment if you had moved the camera closer to the shadowed area to eliminate the surrounding bright light.  The camera has a tendency to do light averaging, so on a bright sunny day anything in the shadows will likely make it hard to see the details.

John are you running large farm equipment is that why your handle is Tractorman?

[Tractorman]

@JAG1, no large farm equipment.  I bought a new John Deere compact utility tractor (4200) in the year 2000.  I bought several implements for it and have extensively modified some of them.  I also replaced the mechanical top link arm and side link arm on the three point hitch with hydraulic cylinders.  I added a bank of three hydraulic control valves to make the implements do their work much more efficiently.  I currently have almost 4,000 operating hours on that tractor.

 

Over the years I have modified many landscapes (including my own).  Because of my intense interest in the work that these tractors can perform, my wife and family nicknamed me Tractorman.  Early on, my wife incorporated the name into my email address.

I meant "control valves", not "cylinders".
